Koopmanskloof is set in the Bottelary Hills in Stellenbosch, with a wine tradition dating back more than 200 years. "Koopman" is the Dutch word for Trader and "Kloof" is a Ravine, thus the direct translation is "Trader's Ravine".
The mission at Koopmanskloof is to produce quality wines through integrated processes for the international and local markets while in the process enhance economic, social and environmental development. The wine produced include Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon amongst other well known varieties.
Koopmanskloof is synonymous with great wines, but should perhaps be better known for its contribution to conservation, having been awarded membership status to the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative. The 220ha farm contains a 70ha natural area that was proclaimed a Private Nature Reserve around 1980.
